L'appareil de déchargement (30) comprend un découpeur long (40) fait d'une chaine sans fin motorisée garnie de dents de scie (42), et deux ensembles treuils (50) à raison d'un monté contre chaque flanc de l'enceinte (10). Chaque ensemble treuil (20) comprend un treuil à moteur (54), une poulie (56) montée sur un ensemble tensionneur réglable (58) à une certaine distance du treuil (54), et un câble de treuil (51) qui part du treuil (54), contourne la poulie (56), et revient sur le treuil (54). Le découpeur (40) est situé en dessous de l'enceinte (10) entre les deux ensembles treuils (50) de façon à pouvoir être déplacé par les ensembles treuils (50) dans un sens sensiblement perpendiculaire au sens de sa longueur.
